The Amprius SA08 is a high-specific-energy lithium-ion pouch cell designed for aerospace-grade drones, offering 338 Wh/kg while weighing just 108.5 g. In this blog, we use About:Energy’s lab-validated electrical model to simulate the SA08 under real multicopter drone loads—revealing voltage behaviour, heat generation, and usable energy beyond what the datasheet shows.

When engineers are faced with thousands of lithium-ion cell options, and more launching every month, selecting the best battery cell for a given application becomes increasingly complex. Whether you’re comparing the Molicel P60B vs P50B for high-power automotive systems or weighing the Amprius SA88 vs Inobat E10 for next-generation aerospace applications, more choice doesn’t always lead to better outcomes.
